He says the question is for BV. My guess Colonial, is that he's not going to answer that question. But good luck to you, anyway!

How many stars are there on the sky? How many fans will there be at the Quebec show tonight? How many drops of water is there in a river? How many picks is Keith throwing out during a tour? How many picks makes it into the hands of a real fan? How many fans have I met during this tour? How many times do a normal person think about the Stones during a day, and how many times do you and I think about the Stones during the day?

The answer is I did count my shows many many years ago. I was sitting on a nice outdoor street cafe in East Village NYC and making an update of my show count. It was a few hundred. Then I realized I had forgot about a whole tour, with 50 or so shows, so I gave up. It is not important.

Bjornulf, It's probably easier to remember the shows you couldn't attend, since '73. right?

The one you can answer is about Montreal, when you go to a show, you are certainly a fan, except for VIP and a few more... About your shows, it is not important is not a good answer. I remember a question asked to Mick and Keith separatly in 1990. What is the difference between (not sure about the numbers) $100,000 and $1,000,000. Keith answer it's nothing, not important, only one more zero. Mick said "you are richer". Who is connected to the real life. smoking smiley

Oh, the thread's about BV. Sorry. We all know he's a superfan and the number of shows would be very, very high. There used to be a couple from Japan that would be competition for BV - they went to countless shows every tour and would always get upgraded to the front. You never felt resentful because they were so nice and as I recall, they weren't ultra rich - they traveled in coach and owned a small business (I think it was a dry cleaning shop). I don't know if they are still around.

I got a question i have always wanted to ask BV.
Question is..
What was the best show you ever witnessed and why was it your best show.

Mine was Keith Richards Town And Country Club Because I could never of expected Keith on his own to be that good, beyond words..

bv...you provide a valuable forum for those of us who may be less, the same as, or more enthusiastic about the Stones as are you. A while back I read your account of what you sacrifice to follow the tours. I congratulate you for being able to indulge yourself as you do, and I applaud you for maintaining IORR so the rest of us can go along with you. Well done, Sir!

BV what is the tastiest snack you have ever enjoyed at (not before or after) a Stones show? Mine would be a "White Lady" cheeseburger at the Auckland show in November 2014. Answer when you have time.

I reckon it is somewhere between 1 and 1001 but not quite sure where Quebec will be on the list tonight. Maybe 101 or 1001.

Every one will be a great Stones gig I'm sure as my 25-30 have been since the 90's.

Every one is a winner.

i have been to see the stones a grand total of 3 times.

hampden park glasgow july 1990

murrayfield stadium edinburgh june 1999

o2 centre london august 2007

was too young to see them pre 1990.

and have had many commitments that have prevented me from seeing them more, job commitments, marriage, mortgage, kids,holidays with the family, financial responsability etc.basically the usual stuff that keeps people away from doing what you want when you want.

i just wonder what sort of sacrifices does a person need to make to be able to go to several shows per tour.

I had lost count until recently when I sat down and counted 78. I think I've been telling people "around 90" so sorry to mislead. I'll see another 12 unannounced and then it will be correct.

O sad smiley . They came to Mexico in 1995 and 1997 but I was a children when that happened.

They came back in 2006 when I was 15, but I was not a fan of them by them.

I hope they come to Mexico soon, even if they dont come I will visit them soon..
